## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** The postinstall hook overwrites README.md in the npm-invoking project directory. This is an unconsented destructive project-file mutation, with no confirmed exfiltration or remote execution.

- **Trigger:** npm install of @buntok/core

- **Impact:** Existing project documentation is destroyed or replaced.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.mjs, dist/core-exports.cjs

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-22T12:19:26.405Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** postinstall copies the package README over the project README

- **Rationale:** The package is not shown to be malicious, but its automatic install hook performs an unnecessary, unconsented overwrite of a consumer project file. This concrete destructive behavior warrants a warning rather than publication blocking under the stated policy.

- **Files touched:** README.md, \<project-root\>/README.md, package.json, scripts/postinstall.mjs

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 96.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** Install hook runs automatically after npm installation., Hook selects the invoking project directory as its target., Hook unconditionally overwrites the project-root README.md with package content.

- **Evidence against:** The hook reads only this package's README and has no network, credential, shell, or payload-execution path., Dynamic require/native loading is a runtime optional Bun FFI accelerator; it loads only locally discovered libraries., new Function usage compiles framework routing/middleware pipelines at runtime, not externally supplied code.
